Laffter

Laffter iz the joy ov the soul comeing to the surface to hav a good time. The mule kant laff, and the devil wont. Laffing iz az natral az the meazles, and allmost as ketching, but the man who will laff when he dont feel like it, iz a grate koward to say the least, and may be a grate villain. Next to logick, to prove things, cums laffing, and the hardest man for ennyboddy, or enny thing, to beat, iz he who laffs at every thing.

Gimblets

I hav figgered onto it, and find that civilizashun kosts about 90 cents on the dollar.


One quarrellsum dog will demoralize all the curs in hiz naborhood.


Q.–Who iz the best lawyer?
A.–He who duz the least bizzness.

What he kant steal must be tied down,
Ever reddy to caw, and to go,
Thare’s nothing so full ov the devil,
Az the life, and labors, ov a tame krow.
